I don't know about y'all, but Thanksgiving with the family didn't help my
IRWTSMN diet
at all. There was just too much good food to be had while enjoying the time visiting family. If we weren't going to a breakfast buffet, it was out to a nice restaurant for dinner. The few times we ate at my dad's house, there was chocolate, apple & pecan pie to finish the meal.
Actual belly size changed to protect the (not so) innocent.
This weeks starts my round of Christmas parties. Oh yeah, the all you can eat smorgasbord of holiday goodies. I'm planning on loosing weight even though the odds are stacked against me this month. Hope you are doing the same. Sure it's great to enjoy some seasonal yummies, but I'm trying really hard to be good when not at the parties.
I've heard of being hot, but this is ridiculous.
Loosing weight is supposed to be about burning more calories than you eat. The good thing about my current lifestyle that any activity at all puts me in the category of more active than before. Whether putting in 10 minutes on my elliptical before work or running up & down the stairs half a dozen times with Christmas decorations, it all burns calories.
I have one of these machines in my bedroom.
Is there another way to exercise in there?
In addition to just moving a little more, I do much better when I drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. I know, I know, everyone says that. I just rarely drink much water. Maxine & I agree that water is just coffee that hasn't reached it's full potential. As much as it goes against years of straight coffee or diet coke, I've been drinking water lately. Who knew all those folks knew what they were talking about?
Believe it or not, both versions work.
Hopefully with just a little bit of moderation, we can all be a teensy bit closer to our goals by the end of the holiday season. It is just too easy to throw the towel in and give up when there is temptation all around. Let's support each other with better temptations.
I can have his body in 28 days?!
Oops. This is the IRWTSMN diet, not the IKWRSMN diet. Sorry about that here is some Rob to remind you why we are doing this.
Want to join me in my sleeping bag?
We can have a smoke afterward.
Tell me how you are planning to survive the holidays. Are you trying to stay relatively good or just pig out and make up for it later? Does Rob motivate you to take better care of yourself?
